Showing You My Sheep!

In response to a comment from a friend - here are the cutest sheep ever and the start of my flock!
These are the twins - still to be named. I love their little flowers. They were donated to Woolfest 2010 for the fundraising Sheep Auction by Derbyshire Guild of Spinners, Weavers & Dyers and I was lucky enough to win them!

Next up is this splendid sheep - I am quite intrigued by how this was made - and probably have a book somewhere on the subject of Needle Felting. What do you think?

Woolfest 2010 Part 1

Ok, here I am just before going into yarn heaven - Woolfest 2010!
Suzanne and I arrived in time to enjoy a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea at the hotel across the road.
Note, I am wearing my Ravelry T shirt and a shawl - can you recognise it?
I have got a photo of Suzanne, but will ask before I post it.

Woolfest 2010 Road Trip

Have just returned home from Woolfest in Cockermouth. Am exhausted but excited, saw so many gorgeous yarns and met loads of great people. Won 3 sheep in the Sheep Auction and bought some yarn, of course!
I am going to have a G&T now and will upload my photos later.

Woolfest 2010

Tomorrow, I am off to Woolfest in Cumbria with Suzanne ! I am really looking forward to it - I shall also be meeting Lindsey, from Edinburgh there - we are meeting at the Sheep Auction. (I hope she doesn't bid on the sheep I want!)
